2017 Summer Bulls - Merged

Post #441 » by **fleet** » Sun Jul 9, 2017 12:00 am

I wonder how much Lauri being weak on defense is because he is evaluated as a big man, while he plays more like a SF overall. I didn't see the game, just a question. Along those lines, also wonder if Portis and Lauri can play together with Felicio on the front line.

Dunn looks like he just needs to stick to his strengths in games, and he'll be alright. His strengths are centered around transition play, breaking down the defense to get to the hole, and scoring in the paint. He doesn't need to be taking jumpers at the moment.

Impressed with what did you want to be. Payne killed most of our game. Every time he got a ball he shot. Dunn didnt run anything majority of the game. He wasnt 1st, 2nd or 3rd option on offense so he scored just 11 pts. He didnt handle the ball majority of the game so 3 assists only. Bulls used this game Dunn he like was ""#(" Jerian Grant.

I want him to be used like Westbrook or Wall. I want him to run an offense, to get at the rim, play PnR, dish out. That's what he did on college. I dont understand why Bulls running this wing perimeter offense when we dont have wings. And why Bulls when you have stretch 4, dont utilize it. I am getting pissed off.

It's like nobody in Bulls organization have any idea what to do or play. Stick to players strenghts. You got Dunn. Give him ball, put him into transition, push the pace. Dont limit him on SG and stand in f"(/$?*)" corner. I didnt see him one time making transition basketball play. And that is his strenght. I dont get it.

You are correct Payne killed everything on offensive end for the most part.

So Payne murdered us... our tanking is going to be fine then.

By the way, Dennis Smith is the goods. If he can ever figure out how to play defense...yeah. He's a stud.

God I hope so. Honestly with the Payne love from the front office I could see him starting over Dunn and that would be tragic. Payne's only asset is that he looks really quick so he can push the ball, but that is negated if he's just going to pull up garbage contested 3 pointers.

Anything regarding Kris Dunn and how to use him should be referred back to this post. Great stuff. Spot on.

The Bulls got the pieces now they have to use them correctly and lord knows of that will actually happen. Scary stuff really.

Dunn just spent a year with Thibs. The free-for-all summer league play must have been a shock for him.

I'm glad to hear that. I would have preferred if they just started a center, moved everyone down a position, and let Dunn and Payne take turns starting.
